Estimation of time-varying motion parameters of moving objects is considered. The motion parameters are mapped into the instantaneous frequency (IF) of a frequency modulated (FM) signal. The IF estimation is obtained using the Wigner distribution (WD). Generalization in the case of multiple objects and reduced interference distributions is given. A new propagation approach is proposed for joint...

Microgrids with non-conventional energy sources have become popular recently. Hybrid AC-DC microgrid (HMG) architecture is effectual as it avoids several power conversions for the consumers. Therefore, this article presents a comprehensive study on grid-tied HMG PV array and wind conversion system (WECS) principal sources. Fuel cell (FC) acts auxiliary source in DC subgrid supercapacitor (SC) u...

Paraquat (PQ) has been demonstrated that the main target organ for the toxicity is the lung. This study aimed to investigate the potential protective effect of PDTC on the PQ-induced pulmonary damage. Fifty-four rats were divided into control, PQ-treated and PQ+PDTC-treated groups. Rats in the PQ group were administrated 40 mg/kg PQ by gastric gavage, and PDTC group with 40 mg/kg PQ followed by...

In this paper we present a method (linear in the size of the formal context) to solve the seriation problem for formal contexts. We show that any maximal solution can be represented by a PQ-Tree. Moreover, the set of PQ-Trees can be seen as a distributive lattice. This lattice yields a consensus method which deals with the multiple solutions.

This cytogenetic and pharmacological study attempts to clarify genotoxicity-enhancement-effect of dl-α-tocopherol (one form of vitamin E) in combination with the herbicide 1,1'-dimetyl-4,4'-bipyridium dichloride (paraquat, PQ) on cultured anuran leukocytes using the superoxide dismutase-mimic Mn(III)tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin (Mn(III)TMpyP), the hydrogen peroxide-scavenger catalase a...

Hematotoxicity in individuals genetically deficient in glucose-6-phosphate 22 dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity is the major limitation of primaquine (PQ), the only antimalarial 23 drug in clinical use for treatment of relapsing P. vivax malaria. PQ is currently clinically used in 24 its racemic form. A scalable procedure was developed to resolve racemic PQ thus providing pure 25 enantiomers for th...

We augment a tree T with a shortcut pq to minimize the largest distance between any two points along the resulting augmented tree T + pq. We study this problem in a continuous and geometric setting where T is a geometric tree in the Euclidean plane, where a shortcut is a line segment connecting any two points along the edges of T , and we consider all points on T + pq (i.e., vertices and points...
